He left Parkhead last year and has since netted nine times in 22 appearances in
the Norwegian Premier League and had trial spells this summer with Bristol City
and IFK Gothenburg.

Falkirk head of football development Ross Wilson revealed the club had been
working to secure the services of Finnbogason for some time.

He told his club's official website: ''I think Kjartan was
becoming frustrated that it could not happen quickly and showed a real desire to
want to come to Falkirk, despite strong interest from Norway and from England.

''We wanted to sign Kjartan for a longer period than this original agreement,
but at this stage that is not possible due to Norwegian transfer regulations.''
